More From Martin Luther

Now if i believe in god's son and remember that he became man, all creatures will appear a hundred times more beautiful to me than before. then i will properly appreciate the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, apples, as i reflect that he is lord over all things. ...god writes the gospel, not in the bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Beautiful Stars Believe
People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.

One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. one writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. one writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.
Prayer Mistake Writing
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
Man designs for himself a garden with a hundred kinds of trees, a thousand kinds of flowers, a hundred kinds of fruit and vegetables. suppose, then, that the gardener of this garden knew no other distinction between edible and inedible, nine-tenths of this garden would be useless to him. he would pull up the most enchanting flowers and hew down the noblest trees and even regard them with a loathing and envious eye. this is what the steppenwolf does with the thousand flowers of his soul. what does not stand classified as either man or wolf he does not see at all.
